    Arrow Toseland special edition 999R

    In honor of James Toseland’s recent World Superbike Championship, Ducati is proud to offer a special edition 999R Fila.

    To commemorate Ducati's 14 WSBK Championships and Toseland's recent victory, Ducati is offering a replica of the 2004 winning 999R Fila.

    The 999R Fila is an exquisitely crafted machine built with the lightest materials and finest components found anywhere in the world. For information about ordering one of these limited edition bikes, please contact your local Ducati dealer. There will only be 75 of these motorcycles for sale in North America.

    Technical Highlights:

    Based on the 2004 999R
    Full Fila/Ducati Corse WSBK graphics, preinstalled and clear-coated
    Carbon fiber side and upper fairing
    WSBK-inspired braced swingarm
    Deep-sump, short-stroke 999R engine with 146 hp
    Magnesium head covers and headlight support
    Ohlins front fork with radial calipers, Ohlins rear shock, and Ohlins steering damper
    Forged aluminum wheels
    Price: US$24,995 MSRP
    999R Fila Styling
    This model has the same design as the 999, but all the bodywork parts are formed from exotic carbon fiber. The choice of carbon fiber is part of the specific effort to reduce weight, which also led to the adoption of magnesium for several components, including the front headlight support. To finish off the exclusive design of the 999R Fila there is a limited edition numbered plate, affixed to the top triple clamp.

    Chassis
    True to its racing inspired origins, the 999R Fila is fitted with the best possible components. The Marchesini wheels are made from forged aluminum alloy. This is the same process used in the production of racing wheels, creating a wheel of higher torsional rigidity and lower weight. The wheels on the 999R Fila 2004 weigh 3.2 kilos less than those of the 999 and 999S, and one kilo less than the previous R series model. This means a marked reduction in the un-sprung weight and the moment of inertia, which improves handling.

    Like the wheels, the brake and suspension systems are top-of-the-line race quality products. The brake system consists of discs mounted further outward for better cooling, radial mounted four piston/four pad brake calipers, and brake master cylinders with an integrated reservoir. The rear shock absorber and fork are by Ohlins, adjustable for pre-load, plus rebound and compression damping. The 43- millimeter diameter fork stanchions have a titanium-nitride treatment for improved suspension. This model also comes equipped with a fully adjustable Ohlins steering damper.

    Engine
    The Testastretta engine fitted in the 999R Fila chassis is a racing inspired upgrade to the base model 999. Bore has been increased from 100mm to 104mm while stroke has been reduced from 63.5mm to 58mm At the same time, the compression ratio has been increased, from the 11.4:1 of the 999 and 999S to 12.3:1. The result of these changes is a power output of 139 Hp at 10,000 RPM with 80 ft-lbs of torque at 8,000 RPM. These results have been achieved while still utilizing a catalytic exhaust system in accordance with the Euro2 standard for street-legal motorcycles.

    Still looks like a chunk of slate that slid off some quarry tailings. It's just red is all.

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Sorry but to me the whole 999/749 range it a bit like the emporers new clothes.

    Just because it's a Ducati doesn't mean it's sexy (sorry Lynda).
